Farmers West and South.

There is a lesson for southern farmers in
the fact that the farmers of the west belong,
financially speaking, to the loan institutions
of New England. The insurance compa-
mics of Hartford, Connecticut, have a vast
amount OF capital invested in western land
mortgages. Two or three companies in
that city have seventy millions of dollars
loaned on that class of securities. The av-
erage is about the same throughout New
England.
For instance, Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who
has long head for round figures, sent in
quiries to some Of the largest loan compa-
MES in Boston, and discovered that these
concerns have written 300 900 mortgages on
western farms, 81 900 Of which are now
outstanding, and that the total amount
loaned has been one hundred and eighty
millions of dollars, of which seventy-six
millions is outstanding.
This seems to be very bad showing, but
is it so really? The agricultural resources
of the west have been marvelously deyel-
oped, and lands have rapidly increased in
value. The loans during the past few years
have cost the farmers only from 81 TO per
cent interest, without commission. This is
much better than the credit system under
which southern farmers have been operat-
ing. Under this system, the farmers of
Georgia have been and are now paying a
rate of interest equal to $50 per cent.
This is enough to crush them, but they
manage to scuille along somehow.
